How do you create a hole for jump rings or eye pins into resin jewelry? ?
I am a beginner in resin art, and after watching videos and tutorials about them, was very excited to try it out... until i stumbled upon these puzzling questions. ;O And also, can anybody tell me, what esle could be used for coloring besides pigments, and could candy molds be used for resin jewelry? :] thank you.
I use a small handheld drill that I bought at Michaels for $20 to make my holes for eyepins, jumprings, cord, whatever I'm using. It's small and came with 4 different sized drill bits.
For coloring your best bet is to stay with either transluscent or opaque pigments made for resin, otherwise you risk have a chemical reaction between the coloring and the resin. As I'm sure you can guess this could end up in a huge mess.
Candy molds can in fact be used for resin molds, just make sure you prep them first. Castin' Craft sells a good mold conditioner, you spray it into the molds, work it in, then let it dry. You're supposed to repeat the process twice before using the mold. Obviously if you use a candy mold you're going to want to designate it as a resin mold and not return it to the kitchen to make candy.
A couple other hints I have for you, keep rubbing alcohol or acetone handy at all time to clean up small spills. Buy disposable craft sticks or popsicle sticks for mixing the resin, use only in a well ventilated area, and follow the directions for resin to catalyst ratio exactly. Otherwise have fun experimenting with the resin, you'll find you can really make some unique pieces depending upon what kind of items you mold into your jewelry. If you need any further help please don't hesitate to contact me as I've been doing this for a while!!!

How to Make Your Own Jewelry : Jewelry Casting: Part One
How can I melt old silver jewelry down at home?
I've got a bunch of old silver jewelry pieces that I want to melt down and pour into mold.
You can melt silver relatively easily with a high temperature torch. However, in order to ensure that your casting goes well, you need to make sure that your mold is hot (otherwise your metal will cool before filling it) and something that you will be able to easily remove your piece from. Also, make sure that your old silver really is silver. Finally, it is recommended that when casting you use a maximum of %50 old (previously cast) metal--the casting process alters the composition of the metal, so it becomes more porous with each casting.
If you're not sure what to do, consult a professional. Molten metal causes really nasty burns, and an improperly prepared mold can explode. (All of this also applies to your question about gold.)
